A little switch in the patch

Hey guys,

As much as we've wanted to, we won't be able to put the Clarke's extended ending on the new patch. We had two weeks to rework as much material as we wanted, finish the new menu UI's and what not, and it was a very very tight schedule. 

Usually we would be able to fit it in but the problem is, we have decided re-do the old schoolgirl scenes since they desperately needed an update, and since the hair was reworked we were hit with a conundrum, either we would re-do them all or not re-do any of them since not reworking them all would create a big inconsistency between scenes.

As such, we decided to scrap it from the official 1.0 version. HOWEVER, instead of jumping right back into the halloween patch the week after 1.0, we will instead have a quick addendum patch with a few scenes that we are almost completing but won't make it to 1.0:

• Extra ending for Clarke route.
• Remake of the handjob nurse route scene where some people say Ayame looks orange.
• Addition of 1 office route scene.
• Possible change of one of the Melvin route scenes.

So, yeah, that scene and a few other improvements (all of them scene wise) will arrive one week after 1.0. Besides the Clarke extended ending the other improvements were not scheduled for 1.0, we are throwing them in as extra!

I hope you guys understand our decision since remaking this schoolgirl AV scenes required us to remake all of the scenes that were in a sequence (the 3 AV scenes) as well as the bust for Ayame.

Honestly, there's so much we have improved and so much we still want to improve in the game that I'd rather push back the two remaining Halloween patches by one year each and release another improvement patch. 

We originally planned to have two months available to work on improvements and ended up having only two weeks. We've been working tirelessly for these two weeks but in a project this big, there's always something else that can look better, scenes that should be reworked (we have 7 or 8 that we'd really like to do justice and rework the art entirely), something that can be worded better, some tweaks in some scenes and some routes, but at some point we just have to "put the brush down" and sign the painting. It's just really hard to call something like this project finished. A project that we've devoted so much of us for such a long period of time because the publisher is waiting.

Anyway, just sharing our concerns with you guys and how I feel about everything since I'm sure the goal of all of us is to see Fleeting Iris become the best possible game ever.

Much love to you all!
